He came to give testimony, to testify to the light, so that everyone might come to believe in it through him.

(John testified to him and cried out??or it was he who said it??He who was to come after me is now ahead of me

And they did so. When the master of the feast tasted the water which had now turned into wine, without knowing where it had come from??hough the servants who had drawn the water knew??10 he called the bridegroom and said to him, "Everyone else serves his good wine first, and his poorer wine after people have drunk deeply, but you have kept back your good wine till now!"

This man went to Jesus one night, and said to him, "Master, we know that you are a teacher who has come from God, for no one can show the signs that you do, unless God is with him."

The wind blows wherever it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. That is the way with everyone who owes his birth to the Spirit."

No one who believes in him has to come up for judgment. Anyone who does not believe stands condemned already, for not believing in God's only Son.

And the basis of the judgment is this, that the light has come into the world, and yet, because their actions were wicked, men have loved the darkness more than the light.

For everyone who does wrong hates the light and will not come to it, for fear his actions will be exposed.

But everyone who is living the truth will come to the light, to show that his actions have been performed in dependence upon God.

He who comes from above is above all others. A son of earth belongs to earth and speaks of earth. He who comes from heaven is above all others.

The woman said to him, "Give me this water, sir, so that I may never be thirsty, nor have to come all this way to draw water."

He said to her, "Go and call your husband and come back here."

You worship something you know nothing about; we know what we worship, for salvation comes from the Jews.

The woman said to him, "I know that the Messiah is coming??e who is called the Christ. When he comes, he will tell us everything!"

"Come, here is a man who has told me everything I ever did! Do you suppose he is the Christ?"

Are you not saying, 'Four months more and the harvest will come'? Look, I tell you! Raise your eyes and see the fields, for they are white for harvesting.

When he heard that Jesus had come back from Judea to Galilee, he went to him and begged him to come down and cure his son, for he was at the point of death.

The official said to him, "Come down, sir, before my child is dead!"

For just as the Father awakens the dead and makes them come to life, the Son makes anyone whom he chooses come to life.

I tell you, whoever listens to my message and believes him who has sent me, possesses eternal life, and will not come to judgment, but has already passed out of death into life.

and those who have done right will come out to resurrection and life, and those who have done wrong, to resurrection and judgment.

yet you refuse to come to me for life.

I have come in my Father's name, and you refuse to accept me. If someone else comes in his own name you will accept him.

Yet how can you believe in me, when you accept honor from one another, instead of seeking the honor that comes from the one God?

When the people saw the signs that he showed, they said, "This is really the Prophet who was to come into the world!"

So Jesus, seeing that they meant to come and carry him off to make him king, retired again to the hill by himself.

Jesus answered, "I tell you, it is not because of the signs you have seen that you have come in search of me, but because you ate that bread and had all you wanted of it.

Then they said to him, "Then what sign do you show for us to see and so come to believe you? What work are you doing?

for it is God's bread that comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world."

Jesus said to them, "I am the bread that gives life. No one who comes to me will ever be hungry, and no one who believes in me will ever be thirsty.

All that my Father gives to me will come to me, and I will never refuse anyone who comes to me,

for I have come down from heaven not to do what I please but what pleases him who has sent me.

The Jews complained of him for saying, "I am the bread that has come out of heaven,"

and they said, "Is he not Joseph's son, Jesus, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, 'I have come down out of heaven'?"

No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him to me; then I myself will raise him to life on the Last Day.

In the prophets it is written, 'And all men will be taught by God!' Everyone who listens to the Father and learns from him will come to me.

But here is bread that comes down out of heaven, and no one who eats it will ever die.

I am this living bread that has come down out of heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever, and the bread that I will give for the world's life is my own flesh!"

This is the bread that has come down out of heaven??ot like that which your forefathers ate and yet died. Whoever lives on this bread will live forever."

And he added, "This is why I said to you, 'No one can come to me unless he is enabled to do so by the Father.' "

So Jesus answered, "My teaching is not my own; it comes from him who has sent me.

Anyone who resolves to do his will will know whether my teaching comes from God, or originates with me.

But then, we know where this man comes from, but when the Christ comes, no one will know where he is from."

So Jesus, as he was teaching in the Temple, cried out, "You do know me and you do know where I come from, and I have not come of my own accord but someone who is very real, whom you do not know, has sent me.

I do know him, because I come from him, and he has sent me here."

But many of the people believed in him, and said, "Will the Christ show more signs when he comes than this man has shown?"

Now on the last day, the great day of the festival, Jesus stood up and cried out, "If anyone is thirsty, let him come to me and drink.

He meant by this the Spirit which those who believed in him were to receive??or the Spirit had not yet come, because Jesus had not yet been glorified.

Others said, "This is the Christ!" But they rejoined, "What! Is the Christ to come from Galilee?

Do not the Scriptures say that the Christ is to spring from the descendants of David and to come from the village of Bethlehem where David lived?"

Jesus answered, "Even if I am testifying to myself, my testimony is true, for I know where I have come from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

Then he said to them again, "I am going away, and you will look for me, but you will die in the midst of your sin. You cannot come where I am going."

So the Jews said, "Is he going to kill himself, and is that why he says, 'You cannot come where I am going'?"

Jesus said to them, "If God were your father, you would love me, for I have come from God. I have not come of my own accord, but he has sent me.

yet you have never come to know him. But I know him. If I say I do not know him, I will be a liar like yourselves. No! I do know him, and I am faithful to his message.

Then some of the Pharisees said, "This man does not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath." But others said, "How can a sinful man show such signs as this?" And there was a division of opinion among them.

And Jesus said, "I have come into this world to judge men, that those who cannot see may see, and that those who can see may become blind."

All who have come before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep would not obey them.

A thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come to let them have life, and to let them have it in abundance.

and a number of Jews had come out to see Mary and Martha, to condole with them about their brother.

She said to him, "Yes, Master, I do indeed believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world."

for Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him.

When Jesus saw her weep and the Jews who had come with her weeping too, repressing a groan, and yet showing great agitation,

he said, "Where have you laid him?" They answered, "Come and see, Master."

After saying this he called out in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!"

So it came about that many of the Jews who had come to visit Mary and saw what Jesus did, came to believe in him,

If we let him go on, everybody will believe in him, and then the Romans will come and put an end to our holy place and our people."

So they were looking for Jesus there, and asking one another as they stood in the Temple, "What do you think? Do you think he will not come to the festival at all?"

On the following day the crowds that had come up to the festival, hearing that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

got palm branches and went out to meet him, shouting, "God bless him! God bless him who comes in the Lord's name! Blessings on the king of Israel!"

There were some Greeks among those who had come up to worship at the festival,

Jesus answered, "The time has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

Now my heart is troubled; what am I to say? Father, save me from this trial! And yet it was for this very purpose that I have come to this trial.

I have come into the world as a light, so that no one who believes in me may have to remain in darkness.

If anyone hears my words and disregards them, it is not I that judge him, for I have not come to judge the world but to save the world.

Before the Passover Festival began, Jesus knew that the time had come for him to leave this world and go to the Father, but he had loved those who were his own in the world, and he loved them to the last.

So at supper??he devil having by this time put the thought of betraying Jesus into the mind of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son??3 Jesus, fully aware that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going back to God,

And if I go and make it ready, I will come back and take you with me, so that you may be where I am.

Jesus said to him, "I am Way and Truth and Life. No one can come to the Father except through me.

When that day comes you will know that I am in union with my Father and you are with me and I am with you.

Jesus answered, "Anyone who loves me will observe my teaching, and my Father will love him and we will come to him and live with him.

but he is coming that the world may know that I love the Father and am doing what he has commanded me to do. Come, let us go away.

If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have been guilty of sin, but as it is, they have no excuse for their sin.

When the Helper comes whom I will send to you from the Father??hat Spirit of Truth that comes from the Father??e will bear testimony to me,

But I have told you about these things in order that when the time comes for them to happen, you may remember that I told you of them. I did not tell you this at first because I was still staying with you.

Yet it is only the truth when I tell you that it is better for you that I should go away. For if I do not go, the Helper will not come to you, but if I go I will send him to you.

When he comes, he will bring conviction to the world about sin and uprightness and judgment;

but when the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into the full truth, for he will not speak for himself but will tell what he hears, and will announce to you the things that are to come.

When a woman is in labor she is sorrowful, for her time has come; but when the child is born, she forgets her pain in her joy that a human being has been brought into the world.

When that time comes, you will not ask me any questions; I tell you, whatever you ask the Father for, he will give you as my followers.

When that time comes you will ask as my followers, and I do not promise to intercede with the Father for you,

for the Father loves you himself because you love me and believe that I have come from the Father.

I did come from the Father and enter the world. Now I am leaving the world again and going back to the Father."

Now we know that you know everything and do not need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe that you have really come from God."

Why, a time is coming??t has already come!??hen you will all be scattered to your homes and will leave me alone. And yet I am not alone, for the Father is with me.

When Jesus had said all this he raised his eyes to heaven and said, "Father, the time has come. Do honor to your son, that your son may do honor to you,

Now at last they know that all that you have given me comes from you,

As long as I was with them I kept them by your power which you gave me, and I protected them, and not one of them was lost (except the one who was destined to be lost), so that what the Scripture says might come true.

I have given them your message, and the world has come to hate them, for they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world.

"It is not for them only that I make this request. It is also for those who through their message come to believe in me.
